Final Fantasy VIII gains a new character ¿ see her here first.

By IGN Staff

Not since Final Fantasy VIII's unveiling has Square revealed a new character from the game ¿ but that's just changed. In these shots, taken from the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, we get our first look at the mysterious Edea.

It's not known when Edea was granted the phenomenal magical powers which she now wields, but what is certain is that she and she alone in all the world was chosen to have them. Edea is now a sworn enemy of our boy Squall, but her hostility towards him is not necessarily out of choice. It appears that someone or something is forcing her to behave in the way she does.

The visor which you see just beginning to form around her face in these pictures disappears with the light. Edea's existence is one big riddle, which, we guess, is up to time to sort out.
